    Why would a box be a problem with customs?

    Not a problem is he is brining it back. You won't have to pay VAT, but if he posts it you will pay import tax.

    galbatrox9, I think we all know what you are trying to accomplish and we don't allow such things to be discussed around here.

    Call your local customs service and consult with them.
